The Friendly Beasts (with The New York Choral Society)

Jesus our brother kind and good
Was humbly born in a stable rude.
And the friendly beasts around him stood
Jesus our brother, kind and good.

"I," said the donkey, all shaggy and brown,
"I carried his mother up hill and down
I carried his mother to bethlehem town."
"I," said the donkey, all shaggy and brown.

"I," said the cow, all white and red
"I gave him my manger for his bed
I gave him my hay to pillow his head."
"I," said the cow, all white and red

"I," said the sheep, with curly horn,
"I gave him my wool for a blanket warm
He wore my coat on christmas morn."
"I," said the sheep, with curly horn.

"I," said the dove, from the rafters high
"I cooed him to sleep so he would not cry
We cooed him to sleep, my love and i
"I," said the dove, from the rafters high.

Thus every beast, by some good spell
In the stable rude was glad to tell
Of the gift he gave emmanuel
The gift he gave emmanuel
The gift he gave emmanuel

Les Animaux Bienveillants (avec The New York Choral Society)

Jésus notre frère, bon et doux
Est né humblement dans une étable rude.
Et les animaux bienveillants autour de lui se tenaient
Jésus notre frère, bon et doux.

"Moi," dit l'âne, tout hérissé et brun,
"J'ai porté sa mère en montée et en descente
J'ai porté sa mère à Bethléem."
"Moi," dit l'âne, tout hérissé et brun.

"Moi," dit la vache, toute blanche et rouge
"Je lui ai donné ma crèche pour son lit
Je lui ai donné mon foin pour lui servir d'oreiller."
"Moi," dit la vache, toute blanche et rouge

"Moi," dit le mouton, avec des cornes bouclées,
"Je lui ai donné ma laine pour une couverture chaude
Il a porté mon manteau le matin de Noël."
"Moi," dit le mouton, avec des cornes bouclées.

"Moi," dit la colombe, des poutres hautes
"Je l'ai bercé pour qu'il ne pleure pas
Nous l'avons bercé, mon amour et moi
"Moi," dit la colombe, des poutres hautes.

Ainsi chaque bête, par quelque bon sort
Dans l'étable rude était heureux de raconter
Du don qu'il a fait à Emmanuel
Le don qu'il a fait à Emmanuel
Le don qu'il a fait à Emmanuel
